I do not know if this picture has been posted yet. I never really noticed the bumper paint mismatch everyones been talking about lately but this pic really shows it

snizzle · 06-11-2009, 06:57 PM

That's exactly the look I noticed in person. I'm seriously considering other colors now.

Could well be angle of photo as it relates to sun.

ljustin293 · 06-11-2009, 06:59 PM

the sun is right on that one point

TaylorRyanSS · 06-11-2009, 07:01 PM

yeah the sun is right on it but it still looks bad... almost like two different colors

the car looks like 3 different colors depending on the light honestly. but this has been known for a very long time.

I had posted in another thread that I saw an IBM Camaro yesterday at LenStoler that had a slight mismatch on the front bumper. It seems it's not exclusive to one color.

yeah I know that, it just looks bad because the way it just stops right where the bumper ends... it still probably wont stop me from getting IOM though

We needed another thread on this like a hole in the head.

It's a materials mismatch not a paint mismatch.

Either the materials need to be matched or the surface needs a different prep, like a primer coat on the whole car. That's what I think is going on anyway.

I think one thing some folks may be thinking of are the early high quality Renders that GM had done. I forget the name of the company but they hired a company to make some high quality CGI renders.

In those they use the same shader math. So you can't see it in the renders vs real life photos and paint.

And if you stand over the joint between the fascia and front fender the colors match perfectly. They all match perfectly. Not sure why the angle impacts how they look or the lighting. But I've checked every metalic I can get close to and they all match perfectly when you stand right over the two panels.

people just have to see it to understand. until then they will evaluate from pictures ( which we know are wrong). my camaro is IOM and i know it matches

I wasn't trying to start anything... I was just looking at Camaros on ebay and saw this pic and how much it stood out so I thought I would post it since I havent seen it look that bad in any other pics

The color is really weird. You can really tell color differences on angles in the sun.
